Sirach Chapter 25 Vs 1-11

THOSE WHO ARE WORTHY OF PRAISE

1 With three things I am delighted,

for they are pleasing to the Lord and to human beings:

Harmony among relatives, friendship among neighbors,

and a wife and a husband living happily together.

2Three kinds of people I hate,

and I loathe their manner of life:

A proud pauper, a rich liar,

and a lecherous old fool.

3In your youth you did not gather.

How will you find anything in your old age?

4How appropriate is sound judgment in the gray-haired,

and good counsel in the elderly!

5How appropriate is wisdom in the aged,

understanding and counsel in the venerable!

6The crown of the elderly, wide experience;

their glory, the fear of the Lord.

7There are nine who come to mind as blessed,

a tenth whom my tongue proclaims:*

The man who finds joy in his children,

and the one who lives to see the downfall of his enemies.

8Happy the man who lives with a sensible woman,

and the one who does not plow with an ox and a donkey combined.*

Happy the one who does not sin with the tongue,

who does not serve an inferior.

9Happy the one who finds a friend,

who speaks to attentive ears.

10How great is the one who finds wisdom,

but none is greater than the one who fears the Lord.

11Fear of the Lord surpasses all else.

To whom can we compare the one who has it?
